UNITED STATES PATENT oFEIoEQf GEoRGi E. WASON, oEsAULT STE. MARIE, ONTARIO, CANADA; AssIoNoa- F onE-rHIED 'ro PAN'KO WENGE 0E SAULT STE. MA IE. ouraaio, "banana I 1 KITCHEN-STOV 1 To all whom'z't may concern: 7 j H Be itknown that I, GEoRoI E. wlVasoN, subject of the Emperor of Austria, residing at Sault Ste. Marie, in the Province of Ontario, Dominion of Canadaphave invented ing section of the stove readily operable, the

passage of the heat being also controlled around the said cooking section.

still further object of the invention is to provide a stove havinga baking oven with adjustable heat-shielding means capable of movement partially around the oven for arrangement adjacent the sides or. botto1n,thereof as found desirable during the operation of the oven.

In .the drawings forming a part of this application and in which like numerals refer to corresponding parts throughout the several views:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a stove provided with my device;

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken upon line 2-2 of Fig. l; p I F ig. 3 is a. vertical transverse sectional view thereof taken upon' line 33 of Fig. at;

Fig.4 is ,a horizontal sectional view of thedeviceg'and Fig. 5 is a plan view of a corner portion of one of the heat-bafiles broken away.

' My invention is adapted for employment with a cooking stove such as the box form of stove 1O havin a top 11 with an outlet flue 12 cent-rally positioned at the rear portion thereof while an oven 13 is arranged substantially centrally within the stove at,a point above the burning grate 14. of the stove.

Two entrance doors 15 are provided in the front 16 of the stove for gainingaccess to the interior of the oven 13 through a tubular approach 16 connecting the oven with Specification of Letters Patent dampers for-the grate 14 is employed partially n nwi vgij e 191 8- Application filed March 8,1918. seri li ta azlyli's."

' the. door iop ening- "l7. ihi usual provided in the front ofthe stove above the level-10f the grate 14 while adoor l9lpermits access to the ashspit 20bneatlr thegrate. Suitable latches 21 211K122 are provided :for the doors 15 and 18 respectively .while a thermometer 23 is. provided for, one of each set of doors and a ventilating slide 24 is. ar-

ranged for each ofthe ash-pit doors 19.

A damper in the form of a, hinged plate is arranged at the rear of the ov eu 13 beneath theoutletflue 12 haying an oper ating knob 26arranged outwardly of the adjacent side 27 of the stove. Si1nilarplatesite sides of the oven 13' and thesides of the stove, similarlyoperable by lneans of handles 29 arranged forwardly of thestove front 16. all of the dampers a11 l. 28to their-holizontal positions, the products of, combustion and heat will be prevented from escaping through the flue 12 as the approach 16"prevents the upward flow thereof between the oven l3 and thest-ove front 16'.- ,'By openmg one or more. ofthe dampers and 28,

the passage of the products oficombustion to the outlet line 12 maybe reg'ula-tec'l and the-heating of the oven13 partly controlled thereby, it being understood that a draft provided by controlling theslides 24'. z I

Two oppositely arranged baflies or .hea'tshields 30, so1n ewhat of the for'mQof metal Venetian blinds are arranged; for movement beneath the oven from opposite ledges or members 31 carried by the oven when in their operative positions above the grate 14, as best-illustrated in Fig '3of the drawings. .Operating' wires 32' are 0011 nectcd to the adjacent endsofthefshields wound upon drums 33 carried by shafts 33L centrally arranged beneath the" oven 13am having handles 35 upon their forward ends exteriorly of the stove front'16. Similar drums 36 arearranged upon rods 37 adjace'nt oppositesides of the oven 13 with flexible metal connectors 38 wound thereon and connected to the o posite outer ends of the shields 30. Operatlng knobs 39 are provided upon the outer ends of the rods 37 forwardly of the stove front 16 and whereby the connectors 38 may be wound upon the 28 are arranged between the oppo- It will be secnithat by closing sides thereof'and arranged upon depending a from the grate to the flue, flexible heatopposite sides thereof in their retracted inoperative positions. Each of the shafts 3a and 37 is provided with suitable friction bearings a0 attheir rear ends adapted for maintaining the drums 33 and 36 in any adjusted position to which the same may be turned by means of their, respective knobs 35 and 39 and with the shields 30 adjusted at any desired point within their paths of travel adjacent the sides and lower opposite corners of the oven 13.

It will be seen that the flexible nature of the baflles 30 permits the same to slide over the opposite lower 'corner flanges 41 of the oven 13, and which flanges are spaced from the guide members 31 heretofore referred to while beams 42 are arranged inwardly of the flanges 41 connecting together the depending portions 43 of the oven which carry the said guide flanges 31. hen it is desired to decrease the temperature in the oven 13 without in any manner changing or regulating the the upon the burning gratel i, the baffles 30 are suitably operated bvmeans of the knobs 35 and 39, it being understood that when the battles are arranged beneath the oven 13, the heating of the oven from the fire will be decreased while the full force of the fire from the grate 14 will be permitted to come in direct contact with the oven 13 when the bafiles' 30 are retracted. The dampers 25and 28 may be adjusted for regulating the draft and the burning of the fire upon the grate 14 irrespective of the operation of the baffles 30.

A serviceable stove is arranged adapted for advantageously controlling the temperature of the baking section while the burning of the fire may also be regulated at will. What I claim as new is 1. In combination with a stove having a burning grate and an outlet flue at'the top of the stove, an oven arranged within the stove above the grate, dampers at the opposite sides and rear end of'the oven adapted for controlling the products'of combustion shields shiftably arranged adjacent the lower opposite edges of the oven adapted for substantially horizontal arrangement beneath the oven and above the grate when (lopieaof this patent may be obtained for 'in t -.eir operative arrangement, and operating means for the said shields.

2. In combination with a stove having a burning grate and an outlet fine in the top of the stove, an oven arranged substantially centrally within the stove above, the grate having an approach portion connected to the front of the stove, depending portions at the opposite sides of the oven arranged with inwardly projecting guides, flexible heat-shields normally adjustably mounted upon the said guides between the grate and oven adapted for movement around the lower opposite edges of the oven, winding drums journaled within the stove at points substantially centrally beneath the oven' and similar drums arranged adjacent the opposite sides of the stove, connecting means between the opposite ends of said shields and the said drums, and operating means for the drums terminating forwardly of the stove front. 4

In combination with a stove having a burning grate and an outlet flue in the top of the stove, an oven arranged substantially centrally within the stove above the grate having an approach portion connected to the front of the stove, depending portions at the opposite sides of the oven arranged with inwardly projecting guides, flexible heat-y shields normally adjustably mounted upon the said guides-between the grate and oven adapted for movement around the lower opposite edges of the oven, winding drums journaled within thestove at points suband out of their operative positions beneath, the oven, dampers hinged within the stove between the opposite sides and rear end of the oven and the adjacent walls of the stove, and operating means for the said dampers whereby the products of combustion are adaptedto be controlled in their passage from the grate to said flue.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
